This exists at all regionals that were around before age 65. The economy and age 65 took 7~10 years from us. Now, recruiters want the same pale-face youth that was typical of regionals before age 65, but only see that at the new bottom feeders. You know, the ones that re-invented themselves coming out of bankruptcy/de-listing, or rebuilt by a legacy with alter-ego intentions. Eagle, Wisconsin, XJT, ASA (and even OO in a way) are all seniority heavy still. Without true flow, it is a natural progression of a regional.

A lot of luck is involved.
But when that interview comes, don’t waste it. Pay for quality interview prep.
Don’t screw around.
I just heard about a guy who got a “no thanks” from a legacy. Said his response to the question “TMAAT you went above & beyond” was probably the reason. His response was something like “well, I have been a CKA for x years, so....”
Not what they are looking for.
Not trying to bash or throw shade, but I’m saying good interview prep will show you how to handle those things. No one handles those questions well cold. They are designed to see how you have prepared.
And although being an instructor at your airline certainly doesn’t hurt, they aren’t nearly as impressed as some people might think. They have a different perspective. These guys interview F22 test pilots and such.
Those interviews are not “go on in and just chuckle it up” situations. They are designed to make folks somewhat uncomfortable. Interview prep!
I think you will all have opportunities, and yes-some component is luck, but just prepare as much as possible.... Don’t waste the shot.

I actually saw this at a hiring fair. I’m in good shape, height weight proportional, look pretty good in a dark suit if I don’t say so myself. But I’m obviously not in my 30’s.
I was able to narrow down who I would see to about 3 based upon the flow and the numbers. The one who saw me was spending 5-10 minutes with people. As soon as she saw me it was obvious she wanted to move on. She barely looked at my resume after noting my hours (over 10,000). I got maybe 2 minutes out of her. I shouldn’t have been surprised but I was.
